Background Information:
The Carl Moyer Memorial Air Quality Standards Attainment Program (Carl Moyer Program), Funding Agricultural Replacement Measures for Emission Reductions (FARMER) and Local AB 923 incentive programs have been highly successful for many years in reducing air pollution in Tehama County. The FARMER program provides funding through air districts for agricultural harvesting equipment, heavy-duty trucks, agricultural pump engines, tractors, and other equipment used in agricultural operations. The agreement with Julissa Garcia will be funded by FARMER Program funds and will help replace a 1975 Ford 5000 Tractor, equipped with a diesel-fired 69-horsepower engine with a New Massey Ferguson 2607H Tractor, equipped with a 74-horsepower diesel-fired engine.
